The Leys Festival – Associate Producer

We are looking for an experienced and confident Freelance Associate Producer to work with us on The Leys Festival, taking place in Blackbird Leys on 5^th July 2025.

THE LEYS FESTIVAL is a festival of creativity, culture, and community, created and planned by over 60 residents and community organisers from The Leys (Blackbird Leys and Greater Leys) alongside a small team from Oxford University’s Cultural Programme. Routed in the principles of Cultural Democracy, the festival reflects the people, stories, and creativity of Blackbird Leys.

Relaunched last year, the 2024 Leys Festival welcomed over 4,000 visitors to Blackbird Leys Park. Watch a video about the day here… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqEnJhhGu9U
